remains at between $38 million and $42 million, assuming a continuation of current market

conditions

Napier Port (NZX.NPH), the premier freight gateway for the central and lower North Island of New

Zealand, today reports financial results for the first half of the 2022 financial year that reflect the

challenges of significant supply chain and Covid-related disruptions.

The trading environment and prices for key primary industry cargoes that cross our wharves has

continued to be positive. At the same time, we have made exceptional progress putting in place the

infrastructure that will underpin the prosperity of the region and Napier Port for the long term.

These successes and the favourable trading environment have, however, been overshadowed by

ongoing seasonal labour shortages and by an escalation in global shipping disruptions that have

created challenges for all parts of the supply chain – customers, ports, shippers, carriers, and agents.

As a direct result we saw a 16.6% reduction in container volumes for the half-year period to 113,000

TEU

3

from 135,000 TEU in the same period a year ago, with container ship visits falling to 102 from

133. We also saw an 8.7% reduction in bulk cargo volumes to 1.7 million tonnes from 1.9 million tonnes

and a reduction in charter vessel visits to 155 from 167 in the same period a year ago.

These reductions and environmental challenges have flowed through to Napier Port’s financial

performance.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the half year was down 3.6% to $50.7 million from $52.6 million in the same period last

year. Our result from operating activities for the half year to 31 March 2022 was down 22.8% to $16.4

million from the $21.3 million reported for the first half of the last financial year. In addition to the

reduction in revenues, the fall reflects an increase in operating expenses as we feel the impact of higher

input costs across all spend categories.

Underlying net profit after tax was $7.2 million, down 32.1% on the $10.6 million in the same period last

year. Reported net profit after tax was down 15% to $9.0 million from $10.6 million in the same period

a year ago.

Napier Port Chief Executive Todd Dawson said: “Shipping schedule reliability has continued to be

unpredictable, resulting in missed or delayed vessel arrivals at Napier Port as well as at other ports

throughout New Zealand and internationally.

“Ships arriving have required larger container exchanges for both us and cargo owners to manage.

These factors have been compounded by pandemic-related absences across cargo owners’ workforces

and adverse local seasonal weather conditions. This created challenges for primary sector production

and further disrupted the flow of cargo.

“While we do not expect any immediate easing in the global supply chain challenges, we are confident

that – as Covid-19 becomes endemic and the shipping industry gradually adapts to the current trading

environment – these pressures will lessen. Our focus therefore is working to keep the supply chain

open and cargo flowing to minimise these disruptions.

“In line with our strategic goals to maintain strong links with our customers and build collaborative

partnerships, we have worked hard to communicate with all in the supply chain and make changes to

accommodate their needs to ensure cargo and shipping services are maintained and delivered as

seamlessly as possible.

“The challenging trading conditions have meanwhile continued to place significant demands on our

people. We are grateful and impressed by the way they have worked to maintain and enhance the links

that Napier Port maintains between the wider regional economy and international markets.

“A key success has been the vigilance they have displayed with regards to Covid prevention and

containment, slowing its spread across our workforce. Covid-related absence, at any one time, did not

exceed 11% between January and March 2022, which meant no operations were stopped as a result

of Omicron.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Mr Dawson said Napier Port has continued to look through the current disruption and focus on ensuring

our region maintains direct, efficient and competitive links to world markets.

“The most notable achievement has been the significant progress we have made bringing the

intergenerational investment in 6 Wharf to near completion. The project, now in the commissioning

phase, continues to deliver ahead of schedule and at a lower cost than initial estimates. It is set to

officially open in July 2022.

“The new wharf opens up growth opportunities and shipping options for cargo owners across the central

and lower North Island. It will allow us to accommodate the larger vessels arriving in New Zealand and

provide greater flexibility and availability across all our wharves.

“We expect the additional capacity 6 Wharf will deliver to begin to be evident in the new financial year.

We also believe this new capability will enhance the attractiveness of Napier Port to shipping lines and





that it will help to encourage others to follow ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, which has launched a

new trans-Tasman service that calls at Napier Port.

“In addition, we have continued to build our landside logistics and services. This is a ‘site to sea’ supply

chain solution that provides central and lower North Island customers with a range of freight and cargo-

handling options via Napier Port. Use of the service is steadily climbing with road and rail running seven

days a week between Manawatū Inland Port and Napier Port.

“Our log-debarking facility is now operational and we are working on processing increased volumes

through the plant. A key benefit of the facility is that it has enabled us to cease methyl bromide

fumigation of logs at Napier Port, a significant environmental win for our region.

“Finally, we welcome the return of cruise ship visits to Napier in the coming cruise season. It remains

too early to say how the current pipeline of bookings will translate into cruise ship visits. We are

confident however, that Napier Port and Hawke’s Bay remain an attractive destination for the cruise

industry and demand is robust, especially with 6 Wharf going live before the season and able to

accommodate the largest cruise vessels that call New Zealand.

BALANCE SHEET AND DIVIDEND

Napier Port remains well funded. We spent $43.7 million on capital projects in the half year, including

$36.9 million on the 6 Wharf project, and ended the half year with drawn bank debt of $120 million. In

addition, we have undrawn bank facilities of $60 million.


The Board has resolved to pay a fully imputed interim dividend of 2.8 cents per share, unchanged from

the interim dividend paid last year.


The record date for dividend entitlement will be 10 June and the payment date will be 23 June.


OUTLOOK

Mr Dawson said: “The trade outlook for our region remains positive, with primary sector commodity

prices remaining high and a stronger second half anticipated for meat, forestry and horticulture exports.

“Even though there are signs the pandemic is abating, Napier Port still faces uncertainty in the supply

chain, including shipping disruption, labour shortages and high-cost inflation.

“Noting these continuing uncertainties and assuming a continuation of the current market conditions,

Napier Port reaffirms the earnings guidance provided in April for the underlying result from operating

activities for the year to 30 September 2022 to range between $38 million and $42 million.

“As highlighted previously, once 6 Wharf completes during the second half of the financial year, the

majority of our finance costs will be recorded in our income statement. This, together with the additional

depreciation for the new assets, will be deducted in determining net profit for the year.”

Napier Port will provide a further update to the NZX market regarding our June quarter trading results

during August.

Further detail on Napier Port’s financial performance for the half year to 31 March 2022 is included in

the half year report and investor presentation released to the NZX today and available on the company’s

CHAIR & CHIEF
EXECUTIVE’S REPORT

TĒNĀ KOUTOU

Napier Port’s results for the first half of the 2022 financial

year reflect the challenges of significant supply chain

and Covid-related disruptions.

The trade environment of key cargoes and prices remains

positive for the primary industry trades that cross our

wharves. At the same time, we have made exceptional

progress putting in place the infrastructure that will

underpin the prosperity of the region and Napier Port

for the long term.

These successes and favourable trading conditions have,

however, been overshadowed by ongoing seasonal labour

shortages and by an escalation in global shipping disruptions

that have created challenges for all parts of the supply chain

– customers, ports, shippers, carriers and agents.

Shipping schedules have continued to be unpredictable,

resulting in missed or delayed vessel arrivals at Napier

Port as well as at other ports throughout New Zealand

and internationally. Meanwhile, ships arriving have

required larger container exchanges for both us and

cargo owners to manage. These factors have been

compounded by pandemic-related absences across cargo

owners’ workforces and adverse local seasonal weather

conditions. This created challenges for primary sector

production and further disrupted the flow of cargo.

As a direct result we saw a 16.6% reduction in container

volumes for the half-year period to 113,000 twenty-foot

equivalent container units (TEU) from 135,000 TEU in the

same period a year ago, with container ship visits falling

to 102 from 133. We also saw an 8.7% reduction in bulk

cargo volumes to 1.7 million tonnes from 1.9 million tonnes

and a reduction in charter vessel visits to 155 from

167 in the same period a year ago.

Consequently, these reductions and environmental

challenges have flowed through to our financial

performance.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the half year was down 3.6% to $50.7 million

from $52.6 million in the same period last year, with

the fall reflecting lower trade volumes and the reduction

in vessel calls.

Our result from operating activities for the half year to

31 March 2022 was down 22.8% to $16.4 million from

the $21.3 million reported for the first half of the last

financial year. In addition to the reduction in revenues, the

fall reflects an increase in operating expenses as we feel

the impacts of higher input costs across all categories.

Underlying net profit after tax (after adjusting for certain

non-recurring and unrealised fair value revaluation items)

was $7.2 million down 32.1% on the $10.6 million in the

same period last year. Reported net profit after tax was

down 15% to $9 million from $10.6 million in the same

period a year ago.

While we do not expect any immediate easing in the

global supply chain challenges, we are confident that –

as Covid-19 becomes endemic and the shipping industry

gradually adapts to the current trading environment –

these pressures will lessen. Our focus therefore is working

to keep the supply chain open and cargo flowing

to minimise these disruptions.

In line with our strategic goals to maintain strong links

with our customers and build collaborative partnerships,

we have worked hard to communicate with all in the

supply chain and make changes to accommodate

their needs to ensure cargo and shipping services are

maintained and delivered as seamlessly as possible.

OUR PEOPLE

The challenging operating conditions have continued to

place significant demands on our people. We are grateful

and impressed by the way they have worked to maintain

and enhance the links between Napier Port and the wider

regional economy and international markets.

A key success has been the vigilance they have displayed

with regards to Covid prevention and containment,

slowing its spread across our workforce. Covid-related

absence did not exceed 11% at any one time between

January and March, which meant no operations were

stopped during the wave of Omicron. This is a testament

to our team’s determination and can-do attitude that

is at the heart of Napier Port’s culture.

On behalf of shareholders and our region, we thank

Napier Port’s people for their efforts.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

We continue to look through the current disruption and

focus on ensuring our region maintains direct, efficient

and competitive links to world markets.

The most notable achievement has been the significant

progress we have made bringing the intergenerational

investment in 6 Wharf to near completion. The project,

now in the commissioning phase, continues to deliver

ahead of schedule and at a lower cost than initial estimates.

It is set to officially open in July.

4 / NAPIER PORT – TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRI

The new wharf opens up growth opportunities and
shipping options for cargo owners across the central and

lower North Island. It will allow us to accommodate the

larger vessels arriving in New Zealand and provide greater

flexibility and availability across all our wharves.

We expect the additional capacity 6 Wharf will deliver

to begin to be evident in the new financial year. We also

believe this new capability will enhance the attractiveness

of Napier Port to shipping lines and that it will help to

encourage others to follow ZIM Integrated Shipping

Services, which has launched a new trans-Tasman service

that calls at Napier Port.

In addition, we have continued to build our landside

logistics and services. This is a ‘site to sea’ supply chain

solution that provides central and lower North Island

customers with a range of freight and cargo-handling

options via Napier Port. Use of the service is steadily

climbing with road and rail running seven days a week

between Manawatū Inland Port and Napier Port.

Our log-debarking facility is now operational and we are

working on processing increased volumes through the

plant. A key benefit of the facility is that it has enabled us

to cease methyl bromide fumigation of logs at Napier Port,

a significant environmental win for our region.

Sustainability has been an overriding consideration

throughout the 6 Wharf build with detailed planning

undertaken with mana whenua, fishing groups and other

marine users during a comprehensive resource consent

process. We have now completed the two-year capital

dredging programme and safely disposed of 1.3 million

cubic metres of material while remaining fully compliant

with our resource consent conditions, in particular the

water quality requirements at Pānia Reef.

We are continuing the rollout of our sustainability strategy

and action plans and progressing the social, economic

and environmental actions we prioritised last year. With

a focus on local, achievable initiatives where we can

have the most impact, we have refreshed our community

sponsorship programme to support initiatives that align

with our four sustainability pillars – people, planet,

prosperity and partnerships. Later this year we will also

report on our climate change related disclosures, following

on from the development of baseline emissions and

reduction pathways prioritised last year.

Finally, we welcome the return of cruise ship visits to Napier

in the coming cruise season. It remains too early to say how

the current pipeline of bookings will translate into cruise

ship visits. We are confident however, that Napier Port and

Hawke’s Bay remain an attractive destination for the cruise

industry and demand is robust, especially with 6 Wharf

going live before the season and able to accommodate

the largest cruise vessels that call New Zealand.

BALANCE SHEET AND DIVIDEND

Napier Port remains well funded. We spent $43.7 million

on capital projects in the half year, including $36.9 million

on the 6 Wharf project, and ended the half year with

drawn bank debt of $120 million. In addition, we have

undrawn bank facilities of $60 million.

The Board has resolved to pay a fully imputed interim

dividend of 2.8 cents per share, unchanged from the

interim dividend paid last year.

The record date for dividend entitlements will be 10 June

and the payment date will be 23 June.

OUTLOOK

The trade outlook for our region is positive, with

primary sector commodity prices remaining high and

a stronger second half anticipated for meat, forestry

and horticulture exports.

Even though there are signs the pandemic is abating,

Napier Port still faces uncertainty in the supply chain,

including shipping disruption, labour shortages and

high cost inflation.

Noting continued uncertainties and assuming a

continuation of the current market conditions, Napier Port

reaffirms the earnings guidance provided in April for the

underlying result from operating activities for the year

to 30 September 2022 to range between $38 million

and $42 million.

As highlighted previously, once 6 Wharf completes during

the second half of the financial year, the majority of our

finance costs will be recorded in our income statement.

This, together with the additional depreciation for the new

assets, will be deducted in determining net profit for the year.

The commitment of Napier Port’s people, coupled with the

resilience and productivity of our region and the progress

we continue to make on infrastructure that underpins

growth, positions Napier Port well and gives us long-term

confidence in the future. We look forward to updating

shareholders on our progress at the end of the financial year.

HALF YEAR REPORT 2022 / 5

6 WHARF
OPENING FOR BUSINESS

WINTER 2022

Under budget and ahead of schedule,

the final construction stages and

operational planning of 6 Wharf

is underway. The official opening

ceremony will take place on Friday,

22 July.

Piling, concreting, revetment casting

and dredging are now complete.

All 10 MoorMaster mooring units

have been installed and a new fit-for-

purpose electrical substation

has been built to power the units.

Dry commissioning has been

completed and the first ship trials

will soon be underway.

The landward section of pavement

required during construction has

reverted back to container operations,

where planning is underway on how

to best work the terminal facing 6

Wharf in the future. 6 Wharf has

provided us with the opportunity

to transform terminal operations to

maximise safety and efficiency for our

own port operations, with increased

productivity in exchanges and crane

rates. Cargo owners, transport

operators and shipping lines will all

benefit from greater 24-hour berth

availability across all our wharves,

increased mooring speeds and our

ability to service larger 320-350m

length x 50m beam-width vessels.

6 Wharf future-proofs Hawke’s

Bay’s regional growth and opens

up further growth opportunities and

shipping options for cargo owners

across the central and lower North

Island, helping to alleviate ongoing

shipping disruption and supply chain

congestion across New Zealand.

The new wharf will provide greater

flexibility and availability across all

our wharves and enable us to handle

the increasing numbers of shipping

vessels arriving at Napier Port.

6 / NAPIER PORT – TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRI

SUBSTATION
An additional 11,000-volt substation

feeding a new 750 kVA transformer,

has been built to power the

MoorMaster units. The transformer

will also power new and existing light

towers, a data hub and a seismic

monitoring system. The substation

development also includes a data

room for the fibre network to run

the MoorMasters, and back-up

generation in case of power outage.

MOORMASTERS

MoorMasters are state-of-the-art

mooring systems that will enable

Napier Port to berth ships faster and

more safely. They have automated

vacuum pads that moor and release

vessels in seconds, at the push

of a button, with full remote-control

access available out on the wharf

using a tablet device.

HALF YEAR REPORT 2022 / 7

DEBARKER GOES LIVE
Working in partnership with logging customers, we have invested in a log

debarking operation located on Napier Port. The mobile log debarker increases

log turnover capability and improves log yard utilisation, and throughput

is increasing as the operation is embedded into general cargo operations.

Debarking removes the excess bark from logs, which otherwise would have

to undergo phytosanitary treatment, as a requirement of some log export markets.

This has enabled us to cease the use of methyl bromide fumigation of logs on port.

Napier Port’s long-running partnership with local firm BioRich repurposes

bark from the log yard into mulch. Prior to debarking, last year, 5,998 tonnes

of waste bark from the log yard was repurposed into organic mulch, to be used

on orchards, gardens, and planting projects around the region.

As log volumes increase, we are also focusing on log yard layout and traffic

management. As part of preparations for deploying the debarker, a number

of roading and layout changes have been phased in, providing additional

safety and efficiency to log yard operations.

LANDSIDE LOGISTICS

SERVICE GROWING

Launched in 2021, this ‘site to sea’

supply chain solution provides central

and lower North Island customers

with a greater range of freight and

cargo-handling options via Napier Port.

Utilisation of the service is steadily

climbing, with an even mix of export

and import customers.

By coordinating landside road and rail

transport options, and tailoring these

to customer demand and shipping

schedules, the service reduces much

of the inefficiency and time-consuming

activity cargo owners often experience

getting their product to market.

The logistics service:

• optimises container movements –

full loads both ways from the central

and lower North Island reducing

transportation waste

• provides more road and rail links

for importers and exporters

• alleviates congestion out-of-

region customers may be

experiencing elsewhere

• enables cargo berthed at Napier Port

to be quickly dispatched to other

regions in New Zealand, with

a shorter supply chain lead-time

and lower total cost

• coordinates a whole network solution

streamlining the ‘site to sea’ logistics

customers have to organise.

Manawatū Inland Port (MIP) is a key

part of the landside logistics service

offering warehousing, container

storage, import and export transitional

management services and landside

transport to port for shipping lines and

cargo owners. Extended partnerships

with KiwiRail and with local transport

and logistics operators have resulted

in the landside logistics services now

running seven days a week between

MIP and Napier Port.

WELCOME TO
ZIM INTEGRATED

SHIPPING SERVICES

When 6 Wharf goes live mid-2022,

shipping lines will benefit not just from

6 Wharf accommodating the larger

vessels coming to New Zealand, but

through greater availability across all

our wharves to berth their vessels.

The most recent shipping line to add

Napier Port to their port calls is

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services.

ZIM’s transtasman service ships

both dry and refrigerated cargo from

Napier, Auckland and Lyttelton to

Melbourne and Sydney in Australia,

and on to ports throughout Asia.

In January, the first load of containers

using the new ZIM shipping service

arrived, and in February the Contship

Ono berthed as the first vessel to

collect regional exports on the ZIM

service. More than a dozen exporters

used the service on its first call, with

frozen food the main product exported,

alongside canned foodstuffs, apples,

paper product, petfood, wine and

general cargo items.

Customers are pleased to have

another shipping option, especially a

direct transtasman service, providing

more flexibility and reliability to get

their product to global markets.

At the start of the year, Maersk

announced changes to its OC1

service in response to global supply

chain disruption. Napier Port’s

biweekly call was removed from

the service, however the majority

of cargo previously carried on the

OC1 transferred to the Southern

Star and J-Star services, and ZIM’s

transtasman service, and continues

to be exported through Napier Port.

WEATHERING

THE OMICRON

STORM

While Omicron has impacted the supply chain and our

customers’ workforces, on port we have been able

to slow the spread of the virus across our workforce.

Covid-related absence did not exceed 11% at any one

time, which meant no operations were stopped during the

wave of Omicron.

This resilience is partly due to the surveillance saliva PCR

testing implemented last year. This fast, highly accurate,

non-invasive, early detection technology provides

confidence we are keeping people safe and Napier Port

operational for customers and shipping lines.

The port is grateful to the thousands of port users, and

everyone in the community, who complied with the vaccine

mandate adopted for anyone coming on to Napier Port.

RECOGNISING

EXCELLENCE

At the end of last year, a new initiative began at

Napier Port – the Excellence Awards, Ngā Tohu

Kairangatira. The grassroots awards ensure everyone

across the business has equal opportunity to nominate

people for an award. An initial judging panel was

convened with representatives from right across the port,

and this year’s winners become next year’s judging panel.

The awards celebrate all the incredible people at Napier

Port and include recognition for being an Inspirational

Colleague, Unsung Hero, People’s Choice, Leader of the

Year or Rising Star, and for Excellence in Health, Safety

and Wellbeing, Excellence in Customer Service and the

CEO’s Supreme Award. Congratulations to all our worthy

nominees and winners.

COMBINING

COMMUNITY

SUPPORT AND

SUSTAINABILITY

Being a good neighbour and supporting local business

and community is important to Napier Port. By sharing

time and resources with others, the port helps grow

and nurture the community it is a part of.

With the introduction of a sustainability strategy

and action plan last year, a refresh of the community

sponsorship programme was undertaken. The goal was

to structure the programme so it more closely aligned

with the future focus on sustainability.

The sponsorship programme now reflects the four pillars

of the sustainability framework – People, Planet, Prosperity

and Partnerships. As a result, we have welcomed

some new community partnerships including

Cape Sanctuary and A Children’s

Christmas to the programme,

and expanded others, such

as the Napier Port Primary

Sector Awards.

Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34), and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Port operations

Port operations represents a series of services including marine, berthage and port infrastructure services to the

Group’s customers which are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognised over time

using the percentage of completion method.

Revenue is measured based on the service price specified in the relevant tariffs or specific customer contract.

The contract price for the services performed reflects the value transferred to the customer.

Property operations

Investment property lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

Operating segments

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly reported to the

Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment being Port Services. This consists of providing and managing port

services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the Port Services reportable segment the

following operating segments have been identified: marine services, general cargo services, container services, port

pack services and depot services. These have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic characteristics,

customers, nature of services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. During the period the Group had a single

customer which comprised 16% of total revenue (2021: 18%).

8 SEA DEFENCES VALUATION

Sea Defence assets were revalued to fair value as at 31 March 2022 by AECOM New Zealand Ltd and the revalued

amounts included in the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2022. The valuation has been prepared on an

optimised depreciated replacement cost basis and in accordance with the New Zealand Infrastructure Asset Valuation

and Depreciation Guidelines published by the NAMS group of IPWEA. The valuation increased the carrying amount

of Sea Defences by $29,980,000, resulting in a net book value for Sea Defences of $110,860,000 as at 31 March 2022.

Significant Estimates

The valuation of sea defences is subject to assumptions and judgements which materially affect the resulting valuation.

Such factors include replacement quantities and unit values, the condition and performance of assets, estimated remaining

and total effective lives of 70 to 161 years and 5 to 80 years, respectively, and estimated residual values of 20% of

replacement cost. Other inputs incorporated into the valuation process include an allowance for project on-costs of 5-6%.

An increase in the remaining useful life, the residual value assumption, or in replacement quantities and unit values for sea

defence assets will result in an increase in the valuation and vice versa.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NAPIER PORT HOLDINGS LIMITED’S INTERIM FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier Port Holding’s Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The

Auditor-General has appointed me, Stuart Mutch, using the staff and resources of Ernst & Young, to carry out the

review of the interim financial statements of the Group on his behalf.

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of the Group on pages 12 to 21, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2022, and the consolidated income statement,

statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows


for the six

months ended on that date, and the notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other

explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial

statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31

March 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date, in accordance

with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.


Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in

the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s

Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance

Standards Board.

Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests, in the Group.


Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim

financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim

Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal

control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Directors are also responsible for the publication of the interim financial statements, whether in printed or

electronic form.


Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE

2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that

the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with

New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.



HALF YEAR REPORT 2022 / 23
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited







A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible

for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures

performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that

we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.

•The Board is targeting paying total dividends within a range of 70% to 90% of Free Cash Flow

•Free Cash Flow

1

is a non-NZ GAAP measure adopted by Napier Port. It excludes capital expenditure on

development projects (including 6 Wharf) and the interest costs which will be capitalised during

construction

•The payment of dividends is not guaranteed and will be at the discretion of the Board and depend on a

number of factors. These factors include the general business environment, operating results (including

our ability to grow Free Cash Flow

1

)and financial condition of Napier Port, future funding requirements,

any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by Napier Port and any other

factors the Board may consider relevant. In declaring dividends, Napier Port must comply with the

solvency test under the Companies Act and the covenants in its banking facilities

•Dividend payments are expected to be split into an interim dividend paid in June, targeting 40%

of the total expected dividend for the financial year, and a final dividend paid in December. Napier Port

intends to impute dividends to the maximum extent possible

1-Non-NZ GAAP measure, being NPAT, adjusted for the post-tax impact of fair value revaluations of derivatives and investment properties, plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment, less the average replacement

capital expenditure of maintaining Napier Port's asset base. Average replacement capital expenditure is based on an assessment of the long term average cost of maintaining assets for Napier Port in real terms.

1.1 Description of adjustments

In determining the use of adjustments, the Directors have considered only those items that they

believe are required to ensure consistency and comparability of the financial information over the

periods presented.

The adjustment that Napier Port considers appropriate is the removal of unrealised fair value

movements on investment properties as these are non-core activity.
